_Demonstration of natural language parser with temporary words and grammar._

[Themengi] ([Discord][themengi-discord], [Twitter][themengi-twitter])

is a puzzle adventure game where you learn an alien language,

with completely unknown words and grammar, to navigate the world

and find your way home.

This month the [first devlog][themengi-video] for

Themengi was published, discussing its natural language parser using

Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar, the choice to use Bevy, a texture

upscaling technique for faithful pixel art rendering, and implementing an

outline shader in the Bevy render pipeline.
